Good morning, everyone!
Quick post and then I have to run to the Oral Surgeon. I'm ready to have this done with. The plan is to head up to Wisconsin later this afternoon for our fishing trip. I will have a couple of hours to recuperate before we leave.
I likely won't post tomorrow, so everyone have a great weekend!
QOTD: I love flowers, but we have so many rabbits in our yard that we are transitioning more to bushes. The flowers are just getting devoured.
Breakfast: bagel
I'm not sure what i will feel up to eating after the procedure, so I'm TBD.
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all.
feeling pretty rough today. Shoulder pain kept me up most of the night. My back was spicy too. I'm over it. I see the orthopedic doctor on the 20th to go over the results.
Today I have an appointment with my case manager. They're still not done with the main water line. It's getting annoyed. Yesterday they cut it off without letting the block know. Hopefully it'll be mostly done today. It's hard on the water heater.
QOTD: I would love to xeriscape since we live in a semi arid climate. I like flowers more so than most bushes.
B: egg, pita and coffee
L: ????
D: ????
food is awfully unknown today...not much cooking as my arm is hard to raise.
Good Morning Gang. Back in the office today to try and catch up on my work. I have one last day to work in the scale next Tuesday. We were supposed to get rain yesterday but the storms literally went around us which is a bummer because we need some rain with all this heat. Hoping to get some today as it is forecasted again.
QOTD: For landscaping do you prefer flowers or small bushes? I like flowers as they are less maintenance in the long run even if some of them have to be planted each year like pansies.
B: RYZE Matcha and 2 egg omelet
L: not sure we might be going out for lunch
D: pork loaf with sweet potatoes
weight machines and treadmill at the Y
Have a great day everyone!!!

Starting to move your body can feel challenging, but even small steps can make a big difference. If you are not healthy enough for high impact aerobics start with low intensity and work your way up. Walking, swimming, chair exercises or water aerobics are all great places to start.
As far as strength goes, find a good trainer that can scale exercises to your needs and help you focus on proper form from the start. A good trainer will be able to progress you from the beginning stages of working out to being strong enough to do more traditional gym movements once you have progressed.
One thing you want to pay close attention to is posture and proper form. If you start doing things incorrectly you run a very high risk of injury. This can be hard for some people as it takes time to learn this skill. A lot of trainers offer the first session free so find one and get started.
I hope this helps! Good luck
My mom grew up in Libby, Montana and she loved a really well-aged sharp cheddar on top of apple pie. Always wondered where that came from. She salted her watermelon too until her Dr. ordered her to cut out salt.
I may have to try it this Fall!

I don't like anything with pumpkin spice and I really only like my own apple pie. Other people use too much cinnamon and don't cook the apples enough for me. Once there are good cooking apples available I will make my own pie.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I think the cheese on top might be a New England thing or as my mom would say "an old Swamp Yankee thing". It has to be a really good extra sharp cheddar cheese. The taste of the apples and the cheese together is so good.

QOTD- Dutch apple pie, with pumpkin in 2nd place.
It got up to 100 the last 2 days and my Mom even turned on her A/C. She said it was just too warm to sleep. She keeps the heat set at 76 so for her to turn on the A/C is almost unheard of.
I have a glass topped stove and have heard that you can't can on it. So I bought a single burner, now I just need the tomatoes to can. My garden has only produced a handful so far. My other house I had tons and canned 50+ quarts one year from my garden. I'm probably going to get them from the feed store, since they have an event every year with tomatoes, and other canning ready produce. I'm thinking of making dill pickles, assuming I can find the pickling cukes and dill.
My boss lives in San Antonio and his A/C went out yesterday and he was taking power surges. I hope he gets it fixed, I couldn't survive there with no A/C.
I need to get to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers
Sorry you missed the Y yesterday Jen. I hate not having time for exercise. I do walk a mile with the dog every day and I am faithful to the gym Saturday and Sunday. I just wish there were more hours in my day. I am happy today because I have been detoured on my way to work since April and they finally opened up the road. It is a small thing but it was such an inconvenience.
QOTD: I guess apple We used to have a restaurant that served it warm with cinnamon ice cream and it was wonderful. It closed last year and I am not sure where they have cinnamon ice cream anywhere else. I guess I could get a ninja creamery if I really wanted it.
Accountability: Yesterday was good.
TSS: 7 years 8-months 2-days 167.6 Lowest (129.4)
